About German Island

About this blog

October 2011: In the process of learning German (an endless, absorbing task), I have found many websites and created many materials that could help others to learn the language too. As a teacher of English, Psychology and History, I had already created other blogs for my students, so I thought I'd do the same for German.

The activities and materials on this blog are for the use of any teacher or student of the language who finds them useful.

Kind regards,
Roslyn Green

Blogroll

A. Slow German Podcast and PDF Downloads Annik Rubens makes podcasts in German and speaks slowly and carefully, so that you can hear every word. What’s more, you can download the files of her podcasts and look up all the words you don’t already know.
B. A German Learning Forum for Kids At this site you can do all sorts of quizzes and test your knowledge – but there’s a catch. The questions and answers are in German. You’ll be amazed at how often you get the answers right – and all the time, you’ll be learning German!
C. Warum nicht? – Deutsche Welle – A podcast for beginners This is an easy podcast and a great way to start your German learning. The podcasts can be downloaded at this link or through iTunes.
D. German Grammar Pod The woman who makes this podcast is brilliant. She actually understands German grammar and loves it as well. She explains it clearly in English and kindly provides grammar tables on a host of topics.
E. Grüße aus Deutschland (German only) – my favourite podcast The two main speakers, Anna and Ardhi, explain all the topics in a lively, interesting way. You can download the PDFs as well, which really helps when there are tricky words you can’t decipher.
F. Wieso nicht? – Deutsche Welle – purely in German for more advanced learners This podcast is excellent for students who would like to improve their auditory understanding. You can download the podcasts through iTunes. The written version can also be downloaded, which helps whenever there is a word or phrase you don’t recognize.
G. Online Exercises at Schubert Publishing These exercises are graduated from easy (A1) to horribly difficult (C2). The whole site is in German, but the A1 and A2 exercises are ideal for beginners – and you get a % mark straightaway.
H. Deutsch auf die Schnelle – German in a hurry! Short, sharp texts about world news in German – read one or two each day, guess some words, look up others, make lists and widen your vocabulary!
I. Minitz – News for German children – with explanations and simple quizzes You can hear short descriptions of current news at this site and, most importantly, read as you listen to the information in German. There are also simple quiz questions for each topic.
J. German Children's Radio – KiRaKa – Kinderradiokanal This radio site for German children is ideal for German learners. The newsreaders speak clearly and the wording is much easier than the adult news. You can read the news as well as download the podcasts through iTunes. Hone your auditory understanding!
K. Mikado am Morgen – Children's Radio from NDR (North German Radio) Programs about many interesting themes for children and teenagers, including a podcast that is downloadable through iTunes
L. Neuneinhalb – A Children's News Broadcast The website and the films, which can be watched online or downloaded via iTunes, are sparky and funky, with clever editing and conversations with young speakers, often teenagers. The themes are also very current.
M: Die Sendung mit der Maus The mouse is a legend of German children’s television. The “Sachgeschichten” are funny, quirky short videos that explain the things we’ve always wanted to know in simple, clever ways, with many visual cues.
N. Tagesschau For serious advanced learners. You can watch the day’s news over only 100 seconds and comb through the articles to locate any words that mystify you. Then watch “Heute”, the complete version.
O. Our School's Own Podcast All the texts are provided and there are often linked handouts or quizzes that will help you with the new vocabulary.

Über diesen Blog

Es macht mir viel Spaß Deutsch zu lesen, schreiben und sprechen. Da ich schon so alt war, als ich angefangen habe zu lernen, kann ich wohl nie hoffen, diese schöne Sprache zu beherrschen. Ich kann aber nicht aufgeben, denn Deutsch hat mich wirklich gefangen. Ich liebe es genauso sehr wie meine Muttersprache, Englisch.

Bloggen ist auch ein Hobby für mich. Deshalb habe ich Lernstrategien, Links, Ideen, Quizlets, Videos, Arbeitsblätter und viele Informationen hochgeladen, die Schülern und anderen Leuten beim Deutschlernen helfen könnten. Hoffentlich können auch Lehrer mehrere Aktivitäten und Lernmaterialien für ihre Klassen auf diesem Blog finden.

Beste Grüße,
Roslyn Green
